A5E37501053-AB, 05/2016
Intense high frequency radiation
NOTICE
Observe immunity to high frequency radiation
The device has an increased resistance to high frequency radiation according
to the information on electromagnetic compatibility in the technical
specifications.
Radiation exposure to immunity levels above the specified limits can impair
device functions, result in malfunctions and cause harm to persons and
machines.
Observe the information on immunity to high frequency radiation in the
technical specifications.
CAUTION
Risk of interference with pacemakers
The radio waves of WLAN and Bluetooth may interfere with pacemakers.
If you wear a pacemaker, keep a minimum distance of 20 cm from the Field
PG when WLAN or Bluetooth is activated.
Danger of explosion
The radio waves transmitted by WLAN and Bluetooth may trigger an explosion
or fire.
Switch off WLAN and Bluetooth of the Field PG if you go in the vicinity of
flammable gases or in an explosive environment (e.g. paint shop).
Note
Remedy for faults in mouse cursor movement
In the case of cable-conducted interferences induced by high-frequency fields in
accordance with IEC/EN 61000-4-6, operation of the clickpad is only guaranteed
up to 3 V. If you detect faults in mouse cursor movement during operation in an
environment with interference and need to continue operation in this
environment, the following measures may help:
•
Establish an additional ground connection, for example via a shielded signal
cable.
•
Use a USB mouse and switch off the internal touchpad (hotkey Fn + F4).
•
In unfavorable conditions, static discharge (ESD acc. to IEC/EN 61000-4-6) can
cause the clickpad to fail. If a fault has caused the clickpad to fail, you can
reactivate it by pressing the hotkey Fn + F4 twice.
Limitations for operation of the Profibus/MPI interface
Activating the Profibus/MPI interface has the result that the emission
standard for residential areas (EN 61000-6-3) is not complied with. If you
notice interference from other devices when using the device in an office
environment, either establish a greater distance or deactivate the
Profibus/MPI interface.
